Ford Transit L3H3
2.2L Diesel
Rear wheel drive
In the last 12 months the van has had over £4k of work including:
Full service
3x wheel bearing replacement
New turbo
Oil change
New oil filter
New air filter
Injector seals replaced
New handbrake cable
Welding on side panels and door sills to remove corrosion that is typical with these vans.
Overall, the van is in good condition for its age though does have the number of paintwork chips and minor rusting that you’d expect of a 13 year old van. All minor rust patches are the size of a small coin and have been regularly painted over to prevent spread. There were more significant patches of rust under the two side windows and under the door sills. These have been removed and new panels fitted and painted.
One dent on the driver’s side towards the rear which was there when I bought the van 5 years ago.
Van drives well for it’s age and has never broken down on me!
Introducing our campervan Enid!
She’s been out camper for 3.5 years now having converted it from a former charity van for veterans.
Internally, the van has plenty of features:
Fixed double bed with memory foam mattress.
Full insulation
Diesel heater
Dual gas burner hob
12V SMAD 40L fridge
1200 watt pure sine wave inverter for running household appliances.
6 x 12V USB points
3 x 12V cigarette points (2 in front, 1 in back)
Ceiling van
Joolca Hottap for hot/cold water – including magnetic shower, large basin and plenty of hosepipe.
Rear facing jump-seat with 3-point seatbelt (not crash tested).
There is loads of storage; overhead, under bench, under cooker and 3 x wooden drawers. There is also a large “garage” under the bed that takes a couple of bikes or a mattress for a child.
Power is supplied by 2 x 125ah deep-cycle batteries which are split-charged from the engine via a CTEK 250d unit. The CTEK has a solar panel input all ready so if you wanted to go fully off-grid then you just need a panel and some cable. I’ve just not quite got around to this yet!
Externally, the van has a rear door ladder and roof bars – perfect for paddle boards!
We also had side windows professionally installed.
The van has had a significant amount of money spent on it in the last 6 months including:
3 x wheel bearings
New turbo
Air filter
Oil filter
Fresh oil
Injector seals
New handbrake cable
New leaf springs
Full engine wash
Major service
Fresh welding of door sills and 2 side panels which were showing signs of rust.
(Receipts for most of the above are available)
She comes with an MOT till February 26.
As a 12 plate van, Enid has a few quirks (including a dent on the driver’s side that was there when we got her) but she’s always started first time and taken us on plenty of adventures! We’ve recently been to Ullapool, Aviemore, the Lakes and the Pennines. She’s a size L3H3.
We’re not using the van as much as we’d like at the moment – hence the listing and we aren’t in a massive hurry to sell.
Thanks for looking!
